DALLAS, TEX, Oct. 13.-Grundy Cox, E.:

has figured so conspicuously upon the
criminal docket of the courts, was caught
last night by Officers Keehan and Heiden
fielder in the act of robbing Sam Flesh
mans saloon on Lamar street. He had
taken off his shoes and was making s
sneak for the till, but just as he reached
1t the officers, who had been watching
his movements, closed in on hin
in the county Jail to await
the action of the grand jury, which con
venes Monday. The police are Of the
opinion that he is the leader of a gang OF
black burglars, and as he is alleged to
have had on one of the hats stolen from
e. NJ. Kahn & Co.'s store the superstition
is that he is one of the gang that garoted
that store few nights ago.
The city is full of suspicious charac-
tiers, who have come to work the crowds
that will attend the fair, and there is q
movement on foot to organize a citizens

the opening and fell a distance of some
thirty feet, falling on this hips and back.

Held: The objections to the tax deed
are well taken. Our statutes posi-
lively requires the assessor in listing
the property for taxation to give the
number of the certificate under which it
was surveyed. It is well Settled that q
failure TO give notice of the time when a
tax sale will occur, vitiates the sale. It
is also well settled in this state that

there are host of lesser known SCOUTS and

that the Sells establishment is the largest
circus that has ever visited the state.
Thirty-two double-sized cars are required
to transport it. No other show that ap-
pears in the state this year uses more
than twenty-three cars, and they of the
ordinary length. The Sells aggregation
is q colossal affair in every respect.
There are 3S5 employees with the show, in
addition TO which is the advance corps OF
sixty men. The management carries 275
horses, mules and ponies. It can readily
be seen that the expenses of this manage
ment must be far above those of the aver
age show. Although the Messrs. Sells are
taking more money than any other show
has ever succeeded in doing IN the state,
II is doubtful whether there will be much
profit after the tremendous expenses ara
deducted.
